Israeli employees routinely sign employment contracts with clauses that are either illegal under Israeli labor law or that quietly transfer risk from the employer to them. The most expensive traps (a Section 14 waiver without a proper salary clause, hoda'at mukdemet below the statutory minimum, missing pension from day 1, an unenforceable non-compete) can cost tens of thousands of shekels over a career. This skill scans a contract before signing, flags every red flag with a specific legal citation, and generates a negotiating points memo the employee can take back to the employer.

My contract from a US company includes an at-will clause. What does this mean under Israeli law and what should I do about it?

Author: skills-ilWrite a legally-valid Israeli will and navigate the inheritance process under the Succession Law. The skill drafts a witnessed will (צוואה בעדים), which Israeli law does not require a lawyer for (though a lawyer's review is recommended): you write your wishes, date and sign, and two witnesses (who may not be beneficiaries or their spouses) sign too. It explains the four will types, how to deposit the will with the Inheritance Registrar, and how to get a succession order (צו ירושה, when there is no will) or a probate order (צו קיום צוואה, when there is a will). Use when you want to write a will, deposit it, or when a relative has died and you need an order. Note: an enduring power of attorney needs a certified attorney (see israeli-elder-care-navigator), and a contested estate or complex assets need a lawyer. This skill is not a substitute for legal advice.
Author: skills-ilGuide users through filing and navigating Israeli small claims court (tvi'ot ktanot). Use when user asks about small claims procedures, filing a lawsuit for consumer disputes, landlord-tenant claims, service complaints, court forms, filing fees, or self-representation in Israeli courts. Covers claim limits (NIS 39,900), the filing process via gov.il, evidence preparation, hearing procedures, judgments, and enforcement through the execution office (Hotza'a LaPo'al). Do NOT use for criminal matters, family law, or claims exceeding the small claims limit.
Author: skills-ilCheck whether you can claim a European passport through your family's ancestry and build the do-it-yourself application path, from Israel. Covers the Jewish restitution routes (Germany, Austria) and citizenship by descent for Poland, Romania, Hungary, and more, plus exactly which Israeli documents, apostille, and translations each consulate wants. Use it when someone in your family came from Europe and you want to know if a passport is within reach and how to file it yourself instead of paying an agency thousands of shekels. Do NOT use for immigrating to Israel, work or relocation visas, or as a substitute for a licensed immigration lawyer on a complex or contested case.
